<p>Hi all, I just opened <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/pull/695" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/pull/695">https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/pull/695</a> towards the cleanup effort this sprint.</p>

<p>I'm wondering what we should with issues like <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/issues/81" title="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/issues/81">https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/issues/81</a> ... it seems unlikely that we will ever document these in a fully satisfactory way. Should we just close the issue?</p>

<p>I'd like to propose that maybe our next meeting is a full hour going over issues one by one and making some decisions</p>

<p>we may not cover them all but if we do this frequently we will be able to shape this better</p>

<p>or well, maybe we need a dedicated meeting so we can also discuss the organization of the guide</p>

<p>I agree that it might be good to have  a meeting for both</p>

<p>Here is a list of issues I've found that should probably be closed or if there is still pieces of the issue that are relevant, no issues should be opened for that specific element:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/issues/13">https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/issues/13</a> (this section exists - issue is now too general)</li>

<li><a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/issues/175">https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/issues/175</a> (this section now exists - sort of a duplicate of <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-dev-guide/issues/88">rust-dev-guide#88</a>)</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/issues/202">https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/issues/202</a> (this seems like a policy issue and so should be in forge)</li>

<p>I haven't looked at them, but I trust your judgement :) most of the people filing issues are active in the project so we can always re-open if there's an issue</p>

<p>Thanks! All of them seem to be fine to close. If there's anything useful to document on the TODO lists on <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/13">#13</a> and <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/14">#14</a>, it'd be great if you could extract it as an issue.</p>

<p>Closed all of them except <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/issues/13">rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide#13</a> since it's still largely not addressed.</p>
